Most projects on this blog are my own ideas. You may use them for personal and non-commercial use only; however, you cannot publish, use them for submissions to contests, or make a profit off my work. If projects are not based on my original idea, I will try my best to direct you to the creator or where the idea originated from. Thanks so much for your cooperation and I hope that you find lots of inspiration here.

Cooking with the Cricut Challenge 13 - Flowers - Design Team Project

For Challenge 13 at Cooking with the Cricut, our theme this week is Flowers. You must use atleast 3 flowers on your project. Be sure to stop by the blog to check out all of the DT's projects and get your flower project entered into the challenge here: http://cookingwithcricut.blogspot.com/,

I decided to make a layout for my project. I used a background paper from the Songbird paper stack that had three flowers printed on the bottom. I then used the Walk in my Garden Cricut Cartridge to cut flowers out of glitter cardstock to make a border around the picture. I hand drew the stems in to match the ones that were on the printed flowers and added buttons to the center of the flowers. I then used the Once Upon a Princess Cartridge to cut the title, outlined it with a Martha Stewart sepia marker and filled in the butterfly wings with a green marker. (If you look closely, you can see the remains of a Star Wars temporary tatoo on Kaylee's arm, lol. When I was making this layout, I was thinking what has she got on her arm, and upon closer investigation I realized what it was.)
